[Elecraft] [Elecraft_K3] New from Elecraft: KPA1500 amplifier with built-in ATU, separate power supply

[Fred Townsend]

Hi Wayne:

I noticed you are using the big Power Poles for the DC HV. I also note the cable length is listed at 5.5’ and that longer cable lengths will be supported. I have found that high currents cables can be a PITA. I hope that you are using high flex welding cables, hopefully the kind with embedded control lines so that Kelvin sensing can be used for longer cable lengths. 

Are the fans temperature controlled liked KPA500?

I also have not seen the drive requirements listed. Have we gotten around the FCC 13db rule? 

Finally, you need to proof the FAQ one more time. You have ‘cable’ in place of ‘cabinet’ in one place.
